Check Effect on State The situation was being canvassed by @ committee of the Bismarck As- sociation of Commerce Friday to de- termine how the proposed new set-up will affect the distribution of relief to thousands of farm families in North Dakota this winter.

At the same time their status will change in that they no longer will get WPA work-relief wages but a lesser grant from the Resettlement for which they will not be required to work. Protest on the groynd that removal of the clerical staff so far from the scene of activity would inevitably re- sult in delay and further hardship to farmers was indicated.

C. to Envoke Fines, Hend- ricks Tells Northwest Asso- ciation Convention Now that truck and bus companies have had ample time to become fa- miliar with the federal transporta- tion act, the interstate commerce commission is prepared to invoke the penalties for violations provided by the law, according to Earl M. Hen- dricks, district supervisor for the 1c. Speaking before the Friday lunch- eon meeting of the third annual state convention of the Northwest Truck and Bus association, which opened at the Patterson hotel Friday morning, Hendricks pointed out that in the approximately one year that the act has been in effect operators have had ample time to become advised on the regulations on the motor transporta- tion industry. Reviewing the measure, Hendricks stated that the act is not in the class of the NRA code or similar federal programs but is a positive, definite federal statute. Stabilization Is Aim ‘The purpose of the act, he asserted, was to stabilize and regulate ie mo- tor transportation industry in the interests of public welfare and safety. Violators of any provisions of the act will be subject to a fine of $100 each day of actual violation. Among things the act requires are: That application for operation per- mits must be filed with the IC. that tariff and rate schedules must be filed before the application is granted and must be followed after the permits have been issued, and that the carriers must operote within the designated area stipulated in the application.

The officials, meeting on call of the North Dakota League of Municipali- ties and the County Commissioners association, were given a suggested outline for ordinances covering both tural and city districts, and then re- turned to their communities to draft regulations. Warns Against Strictness Following a warning by Scott Cam- eron, Bismarck, attorney for the state wholesale and retailers association, not to lay down too stringent meas- ures or bootlegging “would defeat the act,” Foster told the officials it would be no use to permit sale of liquor on Sunday. In a “straw” vote of those at the meeting the sentiment was in favor of municipal liquor stores, and divided almost equally as to whether sale by the package only would be favored to the exclusion of over the bar sales, Druggists may secure permits the “same as other business men,” Foster said in answering numerous questions raised at the session.
